(VS 2003)

I have a DataGrid and accept button. My problem is when a user starts to
edit one of the values in the grid and does not either press Enter or move
of the current cell and presses the Accept buton the current typed value
does not get passed into the grid, but stays in the edit mode. How can I
move the current edit value into the grid without requireing user to press
Enter or move to a different cell?

Thanks



Peter

What I do (which may not be the best way) is programmatically set CurrentCell to
a different value (if possible)

public void AdjustDataGridView ( DataGridView dgv )
{
DataGridViewRow currentRow = dgv.CurrentRow;
DataGridViewCell currentCell = dgv.CurrentCell;
if ( currentCell != null )
{
int rowIndex = currentCell.RowIndex + 1;
int columnIndex = currentCell.ColumnIndex;
if ( rowIndex >= dgv.Rows.Count )
rowIndex = 0;
dgv.CurrentCell = dgv.Rows [ rowIndex ].Cells [ columnIndex ];
}
}

Thanks for your help

But I am using VS 2003 and DataGrid not DataGridView, so changing row index
removes the value you just typed
